Which minoxidil I should use?

Hello,

actually i'm using the 5% foam minoxidil.
But i read a lot of a mix of minoxidil and fin? Are there the same side effects like with normal fin?

Can you recommend a good minoxidil product? I'm using it for my crown.

Thanks

If you're just starting out, 5% rogaine foam is a great choice because it's cheap, easy to use, dries quickly and is effective. 

I use the topical minoxidil and fin you're talking about - it doesn't usually have the fin side effects but the liquid did cause me some dry skin so now I do a lot of moisturising and it's fine.

Whatever you do - start slow with any medication. I recommend taking a few months to build up to taking the full dose every day. Give your body time to adjust - that will hopefully limit any side effects or temporary shedding.

 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now.

Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018.

Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

Wrote a book for newbies called Beating Hair Loss, available on Amazon

Thanks! Do you have a link for the minoxidil and fin combination?
